This should be "-Xlinker” rather than “-Xswiftc”, and also “-l” is for specifying system library names (e.g. "-latomic”). I’m pretty new to this but I think the correct flag is “-L”.
So in the past I have used “-Xlinker -L/path/to/libs”, but I’ve recently read you can actually leave off “-Xlinker” and just have the “-L” bit.

Hope that helps.
